Daniel Radcliffe Slept with Harry Potter Groupies While Drunk

Oh my Dumbledorfs: Daniel Radcliffe (or as we like to refer to him, the British Elijah Wood), has come out and admitted that he copulated with fans of his Harry Potter films during a recent interview with The Daily Mirror. No, he didn't have sex during the interview...you know what we mean.

So while we're all still reeling from the shock that the boy wizard drinks too much alcohol (and is not that funny at live comedy), now we have to come terms that some lucky Muggle got Harry's wand in their ____ (whatever the magical apparatus equivalent of a vagina is).

The Woman in Black is Frighteningly Mediocre

Harry Potter is six feet under and Daniel Radcliffe is understandably looking for ways to move his career in new directions. Full frontal nudity all over the Internet and singing and dancing his way through a recent Broadway revival of the musical How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying broadened his fan base beyond the teenybopper rut. Now he’s trying something else: a creepy haunted-house thriller crawling with ghosts from the spirit world called The Woman in Black. It’s not exactly a setback, but it won’t break new ground, either. I’ve had bigger scares from a fish tank. Boring and sedentary, not to mention only occasionally coherent, this creaking-door mystery is not much of a vehicle to display young Mr. Radcliffe’s range and charm. Read More

Charlie Redmayne Leaving HarperCollins to Head Pottermore

When Charlie Redmayne came to HarperCollins in 2008 to oversee the book publisher's digital transformation, the move was greeted with fanfare, a sign that the industry was taking a proactive approach to the possibilities offered by new technology for interactive books. Today the news broke that Mr. Redmayne, who was named chief digital officer of HarperCollins in 2009, has left the company for Pottermore, J.K. Rowling's interactive web site. Pottermore will also be the exclusive retailer for the digital editions of the Harry Potter series, which are not yet available in e-book format. Read More

Unable to Bear the Heat, They Are Conceding Defeat

It’s officially too hot in New York. Look, the 70’s were fun and the 80’s were tolerable, but the 90’s are much better suited to Ace of Base and the United Colors of Benetton than to average temperatures in Central Park. Riding the subway has felt like descending into the fiery pits of Hades—especially over Read More

Potter Premiere: ‘I Haven’t Seen Anything Like This Since Sex and the City 2!’

The scene at the midnight showing of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II at the 84th Street AMC Theater loosely resembled a themed college party gone awry. Leggy redheads wearing “Hermione-esque” school-girl outfits spilled off the curb onto 84th Street. Wand-wielding twenty-something’s sat cross-legged on the sidewalk, playing Harry Potter trivia card games. Read More

Harry Potter Friday

Warner Brothers doesn't want to say goodbye to the Harry Potter franchise, or its profits. When a corpse is resuscitated by a Dark wizard into a ghoulish being with no will of it's own, it's called an Inferius. [WSJ] Slate says Alfonso Cuarón is the only reason Harry Potter is still worth watching. Read More
